I bet a little sail or flag stuck into the cork to catch the wind would be just as good, if you set it up so the wind was at the butt of your rod. A gust would tip it down and a normal breeze would make it just shiver a little.
I made one out of PVC and wire, so it would collapse, and what I like is how trout seem to be less willing to grab and then let go by the time I get to it than they are with a rod in a stiff holder. Gives you those couple seconds to get there and set the hook.
